Optimisation and validation of CMOS APS control, read-out and on chip-functionality. This activity forms a part of the wider strategic programme to develop and stabilise European capability in providing high-performance and practical Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) Active Pixel Sensors (APS) detectors for space and related applications. CMOS APS detectors can be designed to operate in a wide variety of ways while the CMOS process allows the integration of increasing levels of on-chip functionality. The aimof this activity is to consolidate the operational and on-chip design functionality and develop the building blocks necessary for the construction of practical CMOS APS devices that can be matched to a wide variety of mission applications. This activity will be combined with equivalent activities in SD1 and SD2. Procurement Policy: C(1) = Activity restricted to non-prime contractors (incl. SMEs). For additional information please go to EMITS news (dated 05/02/2001) “Industrial Policy measures for non-primes, SMEs and R&D entities in ESA programmes”.
